King Ranch Chicken

Have ready: 3-4 lb. Hen
1 onion, whole
1 onion, chopped
Salt & pepper
1 to 2 ribs of celery
1 large bell pepper, chopped
1 can mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 pound of cheddar cheese, grated
Chile powder
Garlic salt
1 pkg frozen flour tortillas
1 can Rotel tomatoes & chiles, undrained

Boil hen until tender in water seasoned with onion, celery, salt & pepper. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and reserve all stock. Chop onion & bell pepper. Combine soups & grated cheese. Just before putting casserole together, soak the frozen tortillas in boiling chicken stock until wilted, (one at a time). Start layering casserole in 9 x 12 dish. Layer tortillas "dripping with stock", chicken, onion, bell pepper, sprinkle to taste with chile powder & garlic salt, soup mixture and cheese. Repeat the layers, being sure the tortillas are oozing with stock. Cover casserole with Rotel & its juices. Juices in dish should be about 1/2 the depth of the dish; if not, add a little more stock. Bake uncovered at 375 for 30 minutes. Make at least one day ahead & refrigerate before baking. Can be frozen before baking. Serves 8 to 10.

Tex-Mex at it's best!
